FUN At TWO COUNTY FAIRS
Great westchester and Queens County
Observation-Disclosures Premiums.


Yesterday morning opened wet and gloomy
on the Westchester county fair grounds. The
flag on the top OF Floral Hall dropped limp, and
the spirits OF tho Treasurer dropped in unison.
few people struggled In at the gates. and II
seemed as though Westchestor patriotism was
thing OF history. Everything seemed to go
wrong. Tho African Dodger was disabled. A
very hard ball had explored n very soft region
OF bis Uranium and he was laid up for repairs.
However, things soon frightened people began
to pour In, a north breeze unfurled the damp
folds Of the flag, and another negro was pro-
cured to do the African Dodgers act. The
trotting course was very sticky. Tho trots set
down for yesterday were tho double team,
purse 5000, and tho $3.50 class. purse the same.
On account OF the poor track the $3.50 trot was
postponed until to-day, and will occur with the
2:23. Below is the summary of the double
